Yeah I thought about doing that but I wanted to use factory parts. I have another LTZ mesh I may try to mess with. Problem is if I get it to look right by piecing the mesh together in the center, I'll never be able to get it chromed because of the epoxy needed to combine them. I don't trust my painter to do chrome paint, I did think about a very high metallic silver for the upper and lower but that just wouldn't look right with everything else chrome on the truck.
For now it will stay until I can figure something out with it. But I want to keep it factory mesh.
